Boomer Esiason was all of us during disastrous CBS halftime show

The CBS halftime show at the AFC Championship Game was an unmitigated disaster with a concert blasting and Boomer Esiason was over it immediately.

Pregame, postgame and halftime shows in the NFL aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Some people aren’t fans of listening to prognosticators do their job and that’s okay. During Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Bengals, though, anyone who wanted to hear the CBS halftime show wouldn’t have been able to.

In a clear error on the part of the production team, the NFL on CBS crew was either far too close to the speakers that were blaring the Walker Hayes concert — you know, the guy who sings the Applebee’s song — or the music was too loud. In any case, the analysts were either yelling or inaudible in a hilarious series of snafus.

To make it even better for fans watching at home, Boomer Esiason couldn’t stop laughing and was cutting up with his coworkers, saying he couldn’t hear anything they were saying.

CBS halftime show: Boomer Esiason loses it over folly-filled broadcast

NFL broadcasts sometimes struggle to hit the right comedic notes. So it figures that an absolute disaster of a CBS halftime show would elicit one of the funniest moments of the playoffs to this point.

I’m sure that Boomer, Phil Simms, Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher and James Brown were making salient points. We just don’t know at all what they were.

What we do know, however, is that “we fancy like Applebee’s on a date night.” And that’s the important thing to remember.
